Order Date in default blueprint/setup

[Web10-Joris]

Is it possible to include the order dates in the default setup? I already found this discussion #947 , but I think it would be helpful for everyone to have this field available in the blueprint by default, on both file-based & database orders. This way the order listing table can also be sorted on the order date, to see the most recent orders first. (This can also be sorted on order number if incrementing ofcourse, but I feel like date is more natural/stable in that case).

Both flat-file & database orders should already have an "Order Date" field in their blueprints.

If you don't have one, add this field to your order blueprint:

          - handle: order_date
            field:
              mode: single
              inline: false
              full_width: false
              columns: 1
              rows: 1
              time_enabled: false
              time_seconds_enabled: false
              type: date
              display: 'Order Date'
              icon: date
              listable: true
              instructions_position: above
              visibility: read_only
              replicator_preview: true
              hide_display: false

However, I've just realised there's a bug with it not returning any value when using database orders which I've just fixed in #1053 and will tag a release for shortly.

@duncanmcclean Thanks! I just found out that an error occurs on clicking the column name (Order Date) inside the listing table. Any other ways to sort this by default, maybe via the scopeRunwayListing method? Should I make a issue for the error on Listing column name click?

[duncanmcclean]

Oh, clicking to sort the column?

[Web10-Joris]

Yep indeed!

Leave it with me - I'll probably need to disable ordering on the "Order Date" column (since it's computed based on the status log) but I should be able to change the default ordering of orders.

Hopefully if you update to Simple Commerce v6.2.0 and Runway v6.6.4, the default ordering should be better & the "Order Date" field will no longer be sortable in the UI.
